    Vaseline Posted on

    The Nevada men’s basketball team will take its perfect record to the East Coast starting Thursday as it travels to Charleston, South Carolina for the Shriners Children’s Charleston Classic.

    The Wolf Pack (4-0) will play Vanderbilt (4-0) on Thursday at 4:30 p.m. and then face Seton Hall of VCU on Friday at 2 or 4:30 p.m.

    The Pack closes the tournament on Sunday, November 24 against one of the teams on the other side of the tournament: Drake, Florida Atlantic, Miami or Oklahoma State.

    The Wolf Pack has won four of the past five multi-team events in which it has played. The most recent KenPom ratings have Nevada at No. 38 and Vanderbilt at No. 86.

    How Nevada stacks up against other teams in the Charleston Classic

    Depending on the outcome of the first round games, Nevada will face either Seton Hall or Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) in their second match. VCU currently ranks 35th in the KenPom Ratings, barely edging out Nevada for the top spot in the tournament. Seton Hall ranks 97th.

    The Wolf Pack will face an opponent from the other side of the bracket in their second game. Their KenPom ratings as of Wednesday afternoon:

    • Drake: 125th
    • Florida Atlantic: 81st
    • Miami: 46th
    • Oklahoma State: 88th

    Nevada (four votes) and VCU (two) are the only two of the eight tournament teams to receive votes in the most recent USA TODAY Sports Men’s Basketball Coaches Poll. VCU (17 votes) and Miami (10) are the only two tournament teams to receive votes in the most recent AP Men’s Basketball Poll.

    Nevada’s all-time record against the rest of the field: 1-3 vs. Drake, 1-0 vs. Florida Atlantic, 0-1 vs. Seton Hall, 1-1 vs. VCU. Nevada has never faced Miami, Oklahoma State or Vanderbilt.
